A friend hooked up his battery backwards on his 2001 Crownline - fried the fuse to the corsa, but after replacement still wont work - he says he fried the "coil commander" module but he cant find the part - I think he said its 2 wires in 4 out. it is a type cc11 - the other numbers on the unit...

Winter layup in the northeast is half over.....right? In years past some very generous people have put on some awesome parties......Well, I'm not one of them - but thought it would be fun if we met up somewhere in coastal CT for a night of food, drink and stories - any interest? Mohegan sun...
At the end of the season, we sold the 300DA that had served us so well for 12 seasons. I wasnt sure what was next......and Im still not, but I did pick up a "diversion" (hmmmm, good name for it LOL). Ive been poking around (do we ever stop) - talking to friends (dangerous) and I was told...
